Share your journey to Bain.

I started college as a political science major planning to go to law school, but I discovered consulting during my sophomore year. I quickly joined Ohio State’s consulting club to explore this interest further and soon realized it was a career path I could see myself pursuing. After my junior year, I interned with another consulting firm and began practicing cases consistently throughout that summer before interviewing with Bain later that season.

How did you know that Bain was the right company for you?

For me, the people I networked with and those I knew prior to joining Bain truly invested in me. They were always the ones reaching out to help me with casing and were the most available to answer my questions about the firm.

Do you feel like you can do impactful work at Bain? What opportunities excite you?

The work Bain does is top of mind for our clients and is always highly valued. In the work I’m doing now, we’re constantly driving change beyond what our clients thought was possible and that’s what excites me most about what we do.
